Brave New World

Natural disaster currently has become a large part of US economy, from tornadoes, fire, floods and hurricanes. These natural disasters have lead to death of people but also a billion dollar damage to several cities or states. According to National center of Environmental Information, in 2015 there were at least ten weather disasters that lead to property damages exceeding one billion dollar across United States. The natural disasters are found in many ways, the one most famous is Hurricane Katrina and another Hurricane Sandy. These two hurricanes are Atlantic hurricanes, Hurricane Katrina hit the Southern States and Hurricane Sandy hit near Atlantic City affecting many eastern States. Although the two hurricanes have occurred in separate years, yet they have caused a lot of damage in large cities leaving thousands of people without home. Furthermore due to these natural disasters has questioned the government how to prepare for natural disaster in near future. The hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy are both consider Natural disaster that has lead to heavy damages but one has more devastating effect than the other.

For example, in Canada, the number of human deaths has been small in comparison to those that have occurred in developing nations as a result of extreme events of similar magnitude and intensity. Nevertheless, there have been a number of disasters that have caused enormous disruption and/or damage, including the 1998 Ice Storm, the Prairie droughts of the 1930s, 1980, 1987 and 1989, the Red River flood of 1997, the British Columbia forest fires of 2004, the Saguenay flood of 1997, Hurricanes Hazel (1954) and Juan (2004), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS, 2003) and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) (Haque, C.E and Etkin, D 2007).

In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, education and creative expression aren’t exactly the way today’s society teaches education and self-expression. In the novel the goal is to teach certain people certain things. Each clone is given a specific job and aren’t granted permission to further their jobs that are assigned to them. In Brave New World, there is no creative or self-expression. Having individualism is basically telling the people they have the right to freely express themselves. Freely expressing ideas and emotions will lead to instability which would go against the society’s moto, “…COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABIBILTY.”(pg.3).

Is there such thing as a world in the future where sexual interaction is the closest aspect of a community? Is it true that the people in this society are unable to choose what they want, due to the fact that they are genetically controlled of who they are? Or to eliminate someone’s sadness by just taking one drop of a drug can automatically make them feel better? Welcome to Brave New World. The motto of Brave New World consists of three words; community, identity, stability. These words create and conditions new human life in a civilized society that presents a dystopian view of the future. The word community is based on all the different castes of diverse people “working together” to become

Natural Disasters happen all around the world. They are not limited to one specific country or climate. There are many types of Natural Hazards/Disasters and the world has seen on many occasions just how devastating and powerful they can be. With each natural disaster it doesn’t only affect the planet and environment but the people. We lose lives, homes, animals, even everything sometimes. Earthquakes happens when the earth releases energy and the tectonic plates rub against each other and shift. Hurricanes , typhoons, occur when a really large storm swirls in circles. “You'll see the cloud of the storm turning in a spiral, touch down on the ground, and then reach toward the sky. When the storm reaches a wind speed of over 74 miles per hour, it gets classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone depending on where the storm is located.” This is how hurricanes and typhoon disasters occur. There is many other forms of coaster but these are

Natural disasters are a phenomenon that cannot be prevented and when it comes to natural disasters is something that is hard to prepare for. These two things have nothing but negative affects towards people and especially the economy, it affects the economy tremendously. The three disasters that are going to be looked at is Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Katrina, and the Tohoku earthquake. These three disasters all had negative affects towards the economy. Three major things that happened when these disasters hit was money loss, especially the business that were uninsured, jobs being lost, and companies that had to close down production

Distressing natural disasters, such as hurricane Irma have devastated the world and caused loss of homes, as well as greatly affecting humanity. According to French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe of St. Martin, “95 percent of the island’s houses had been damaged and 60 percent were uninhabitable. Earlier, France's interior minister said at least eight people had died.” This devastating hurricane is one of the many examples of how extreme natural disasters negatively impact the world and how dominant Mother Nature is over humanity.

America is a beautiful place, but there are natural disasters that want to ruin America and other countries. If you ever get a warning about a natural disaster is about to hit you you should start by making a plan about how you are going to board up your windows, get food and water, and a medical kit just in case someone gets hurt.

From the year 2000 to 2012, 1.7 billion dollars in damage was spent only on natural disasters. Natural disasters have been around since the dawn of time. They have always been destructive and deadly. Whether it’s hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, landslides, or avalanches, they are all a threat to humanity. Natural disasters have always been a worldwide issue, causing destruction and despair to many.

Millions of people are affected by natural disasters every year, and their impact can be catastrophic. From the destruction of buildings to the spread of disease, natural disasters can devastate entire countries overnight. Tsunamis, earthquakes and typhoons do not just wreak havoc on land; they also disrupt people's lives in both densely populated cities and remote villages. The definition of natural disasters is any catastrophic event that is caused by nature or the natural processes of the earth. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and volcano eruptions are all types of natural hazards, but when do they become natural disasters? The severity of a disaster is measured in lives lost, economic loss, and the ability of the population to rebuild. Events that occur in unpopulated areas are not considered disasters. People living in poverty are even more vulnerable to natural disasters because they have fewer resources or people to turn to when trying to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. So a flood on an uninhabited island would not count as a disaster, but a flood in a populated area is called a natural disaster. All natural disasters cause loss in some way. Depending on the severity, lives can be lost in any number of disasters. Falling buildings or trees, freezing to death, being washed away, or heat stroke are just some of the deadly effects. Some disasters cause more loss of life than others, and population density affects the death count as well. Natural disasters fall into three broad groups. 1. Those caused by movements of the Earth. These occur with the minimum amount of warning and include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. They are difficult to predict and impossible to stop. All that can be done is to take appropriate action to limit damage and loss of life after they occur. 2. Weather related disasters. These will include hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme heat and extreme cold weather. There will usually be some degree of advanced warning, but since weather is unpredictable, nothing can be done to stop these disasters from developing once the weather system develops. Again, in areas prone to this sort of disaster, some provision can be made

Disasters of both natural and technological origin have a considerable impact on communities. The effects of disasters in India are significantly reduced by well established counter disaster arrangements at all three levels of government. These arrangements comprise comprehensive plans of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery and in more recent times, of mitigation. The economic effects of disasters can be devastating and widespread. When disasters strike houses, businesses and community infrastructure get damaged or destroyed and people’s livelihoods are temporarily and sometimes permanently disrupted. Physical damage is the most visible economic impact of disasters. Major natural

While natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes are commonly thought to occur due to environmental forces such as weather, climate and tectonic movements; a deeper investigation into the ‘disaster’ displays other contributing forces. Human factors have a large, if not equal, contribution to the occurrance and outcome of such disasters (Pelling, 2001). As Pelling (2001) argues, there is both a physical and human dimension to ‘natural disasters’. The extent to which the natural occurrence of a physical process, such as a flood or earthquake, impacts on society is constructed by that society, creating a ‘disaster’ as measured by a

Man-made and natural disasters are incidents that occur within our society. Research has indicated these incidents have become more common internationally over the past several decades (Pan-American Health Organization, 2004). As a result, it is integral domestically to plan for, work to prevent, and respond to incidents within our borders. These incidents have been shown to be increasing in commonality due to increased levels and technology associated with transportation, higher concentrations of humans in smaller areas, growth of chemical industries that increase availability of explosive and/or toxic agents, and increased terrorist activity and armed conflicts (Pan-American Health Organization, 2004). In response to these increasing risks of man-made and natural disasters occurring within our borders, it is integral for our society to utilize an emergency management system in order to prepare for, mitigate, and respond to these incidents. The Incident Command System (ICS), which allows for coordination on every governmental level and among a multitude of agencies, facilitates efficient communication between entities, and ensures a continuity of command through a highly organized chain of command (Phoenix Police Department). ICS is currently the main and most efficient and effective system throughout governmental and non-governmental agencies and entities within our borders.

This paper will discuss the differences between two different natural and man-made disasters. The disasters that will be discussed are Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Additionally, this paper will look into the specifics of what constitutes a natural and man-made disaster. Specifically, this paper will look into each disaster to include the events surrounding them; the risks; and the assessments. Furthermore, this paper will look at some of the details of each disaster and why there was so much devastation. Finally, this paper will look at a few similarities, but mainly the differences between the two, and how the effects of each still linger today.

According to the analysis, annual and seasonal LAI from 1990 to 2005 were highly variable with sharp reductions in 1994 and 2000 in the No.1 experimental watershed. These variations are associated with forest disturbances such as typhoon and extreme weather. In July 1993, typhoon Lewis struck the South Hainan Island Coast with wind speeds of 41 m s-1, its eye passing through Jiangfengling National Forest Park. The No.1 experimental watershed, located 20 km from the coast, was in close proximity to the path taken by the storm’s eye and received severe damage. After the pass of the storm, mean LAI during the dry season of 1994 (November 1993 to April 1994) was greatly decreased by 12.4% as compared to the mean for dry season of 1993. Storm,
